    @GibranRichani @alphaINTEL What? The fact that they would rather make money than fix the game doesn't bother you? Or the fact that the people who enjoy the game don't want to see it become the new overwatch?

    @biggestsonicfan overwatch 2 will fix all of it

    Guys I am having trouble with my Overwatch stream its getting low fps on the stream while I move but it is fine when I am not! Help I can't stream like that. #smallstreamer #streamlabs #streamlabsobs

    Jake Parker, M.Ed (@JakeParkerLIVE) reported

    Dropped from silver to bronze in Overwatch because stupid randos decide to either AFK the entire match, feed the enemy team, disconnect from the match, or refuse to play objective at all. Actually frustrating.

    @GucciSerg @back4blood @wbgames I think people are going to run into the same problem as overwatch/tf2. If you try and compare the two and nitpick everything its going to suck, but if you try it out its actually a really fun game.

    @bobposting the real problem here is overwatch on console not how close she is.

    My problem with Apex rn is the same problem I have with Overwatch I can’t have fun because randoms tryhard so much but I have no friends to play with so like 😞

    Was v v sleepy and ready for bed at like 11 but instead I stayed up to play overwatch with pals at 12:30 only for my sisters laptop to constantly crash and now I’m wide awake and can’t even join in

    @Capt_Jack87 @InfektedOW Don't mistake me, it's very very important for the health of the upcoming changes in P2P and Overwatch as an esport that tournaments like this are happening, there just seems to be a major disconnect between some groups as to how to go about that effectively.

    @josefbutwithanF What lags will be the routing issue for the Proprietor. Which Overwatch will inform you if it's a regular thing. All you gotta do (which always fixes for me) is to place a Proprietor marker with the Buydebug tool. But you need to install it from Mod TheSims cause it's locked.

    @MatiasHOe @BlizzardCSEU_EN They won’t fix anything, they will drop something new and shiny and call it an update. We will still have the same problems. Look at WoW (a buggy garbage mess) overwatch( same) hearthstone( unbalanced garbage) maybe it’s time to tach blizzard by not buying their trash anymore

  • TerriblePancake
    Wafuls at midnight🔞 (@TerriblePancake) reported

    I really wish I could be excited for the reveals in Apex. Instead I feel like I'm watching a car crash about to happen. If they go down the route of 'spooky DID!' like Overwatch did with Sigma I will not be majorly surprised but I will be incredibly disappointed.

    @BlizzardCS okay I'm not playing pvp to get my reward. I played all of your junkenstein games, it even said i won the genji skin, and the genji skin is not unlocked. what the heck guys? fix your ****. #Overwatch @PlayOverwatch

    @PabloGarduo8 @JC330585664 @FallGuysGame I played many game over Wi-Fi, with little to no problems, like TF2 and Overwatch… Ridiculous.

    @iluvtitt Your first issue was "overwatch"

    @bobposting to be clear both overwatch and the console are a problem.

    @ashen_dawn @MOOMANiBE I'm thinking like overwatch skins where they always have the same items and it's purely cosmetic, but you're right that hitboxes might be a problem

  • TheLusin
    Lusin (@TheLusin) reported

    @ATPOverwatch I personally don't like the short that was posted just due to how shorts work with them being 4:3 ratio it just doesn't work with Overwatch in general if there is a way to fix that then it'd look nicer but I do like how its alot more straight to the point!

    @vikfinity @ohhater @SeoulessOW pharah was 12 in that picture, mercy was 17. that picture has been retconned anyways + mercy was only volunteering (not working) at overwatch at the time

  • RavenWings_
    raven (@RavenWings_) reported

    As someone who has done Overwatch events, if you do a tournament 3 times and each time has more and more issues, there is a serious problem. I respect that they're taking feedback, but most of the problems could have been avoided before the tournament even was announced.

    @HoshizoraOW Everyone I know who plays 'normally' i.e. turns off the moment they get bored still loves the game. It's like imagine if you watched your fave film over and over, you'd grow to hate it, same thing. The problem isn't overwatch, it's streaming it 12 hour a day, ofc you dislike it.

    @roarwi Idk what happened w that lawsuit Blizzard/Activision was dealing w, but if they addressed the issues, I might go back to playing COD and Overwatch myself.

  • WwendyWwilliams

    @LXRD_KVRAMA @eggo_k Stun is one the biggest issues in Overwatch, point blank period. Like, McCree & Roadhog being quite simple characters while being able to 1 shot people with a stun ability is quite ridiculous. I think stun shouldn’t be a thing. At least Brig & Sigma’s stun isn’t like that.
